Blood Diseases

Blood diseases are disorders in blood. Blood is living tissue made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts and protein.

More than half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood consist red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to your tissues and organs. White blood cells fight any type of infection and are part of your body's defense system. Platelets help blood to clot. Bone marrow, the soft material of bones, makes new blood cells. Blood cells constantly die and your body makes new ones. Red blood cells exist for 120 days, platelets 6 days and white cells less than a day. Blood diseases and disorders can affect the production of blood and its components, like blood cells, hemoglobin, blood proteins, the mechanism of coagulation, etc. Causes of blood disease are listed below
